Today in human geo we talked about cultural regions ( Beliefs, material traits, and social forms). The origin of the word culture is the latin cults which means to care for. To care about- to adore or worship something, as in the modern cult. To take care of-to nurse or look after something, as in the modern word culture. A cult is a special person that people like look up to. For example people looked up to a person and he said the world was going to end on a date and it did not and the people who look up to him were mad because they prepared and the world did not end. The difference between a religion and cult is a religion looks up to a higher being but they have similar beginnings. After we took notes we broke into groups and identified characteristics of regions.

People should work hard, have inspiration or a drive. The message of this should is giving props to all the hard working people who do what they are told and ask no questions and just do it. A drive and a desire to succeed is a good thing to have in life. Being hard working is hard whether it comes to sports, school, or your job. You need to try and do your best and be your best at whatever you inspire to do in life.

Greek terms

Today we looked up terms and how they applied to the ancient greeks. We learned the word agora. Agora was a public open space used for assemblies and markets. Another word is polis. Polis is a city or state in ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purpose. Then we said why the year 508 BC was important. The year 508 BC was important because its when the democracy is introduced in Athens by Cleisthenes. It was the first time they revolted against his ruler.
